Dip not our forefathers change the or
der of things to which their foreiathers
submitted? Doubtless there were cranks
in the days of Jefferson who clamored
against innovation, but jefferson helped
to make some radical changes and TO up
root evils wherever he found them. 1t
is certainly JeiTersonian for us to do So
The idea that we are tied hand and foot
is not at all consistent with the vigorous
work done by the fathers.

Smyrna times., 1887-05-11
JEFF Davis and Beauregard.

War history has broken out again.
For months it has been raging in the
magazines, and the reading public has
become thoroughly surfeited, so much
so, in fact that all the indications poin-
ted to a lull in the storm of battle stor-
les and sanguinary illustration. But in
the moment of quiet another explosion
comes. This time it is in the South.
The belligerents are Jefferson Davis,
whose old age is quite vOluminous, so
to speak, and General Beauregard, who
seems to be fighting great deal Just
now on paper.
The bone Of contention is the much
discussed battle of Shiloh 1t was a
peculiar battle, and there was a great
deal of peculiar fighting, and there were
II great many questions as to certain
movements that will never be set tied.
The one great fact is that the Union
side won. Mr.. Davis seems to be of
the opinion that Beauregard was largely
responsible for the result. and he says
so. Beauegard, of course, differs
from this view, and if we accept his
statement, we come irresistibly to the
conclusion that General Beauregerd is
a great man. despite the fact that he
sells his name to a lOttOry company for
$4,000 year.
The gratifying feature of it all, how
ever is that the disputants are alive,
and that their discussions may bring
out valuable historical facts and docu-
ments. The controversy is little warm
inst now, but it will soon grow cool,
and the consequence is likely to be a
useful contribution to the history OfOne
of the least understood battles of the
war.

WHOLE NO. 1869.
New Jerseys New Ballot Boxes.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VOTE
RECEIVERS.

Now that Governor Green has signed
the bill recently passed by the Legisla-
ture, which provides that each election
precinct must be provided with Halls
patent ballOt-bOxes, it will be the duty
OF the city and township authorities to
soon purchase these new-fangled ar
rangements. They cost $25 each. This
patent box has four clear glass sides
and wooden top and bottom, It is
secured by four locks. There are two
combination locks, the keys to which
are held by the Judge of the election
and the Clerks, and two Yale locks, the
Keys to which are to be in the custody
OF the Inspectors. A box after being
once locked cannot, therefore, be sur
rteptitiously opened unless the person
shall by conivance, conspiracy. theft or
come into possession of all four combi-
nations and keys.
The box is proof against stuffing. By
an ingenious arrangement each ticket
as goes into the box is pierced and
stamped. This is done by a crank ar
rangement, which is turned by the
Judge. The ballot slip is conclusive
evidence that it has been voted. but it
Is stamped with the number of the
ward and of the precinct, or name of
the county and township. Even if two
or three ballots should be put into the
box at once (rolled together, as is often
the case) it would not avail. The
stamp would make its imprint onlv
upon the outside ballot, and that only
would be counted.
There is an automatic arrangement
which is a guard against illegal voting.
AS each ballot falls into the box. after
having been pierced and stamped. a
little gong rings. This can be heard
for some distance away, and gives no.
tice that a vote has been cast. The
voter can see the ballot fall into the
box. and thus make certain that it has
not been dropped upon the floor or
slipped up the sleeve of a dishonest
election officer.
The bill requires that the Boards of
FreehOlders of the various counties
shall by the 1st of September next pro-
vide boxes of the sort described. More
than 1000 boxes will be necessary for
the entire State, which will foot up for
the manufacturers the neat sum of $25.-
600, at least. Sixteen boxes will be
needed for Salem county.-iSouth Jer-

Bay Side Wonders.

Bay side is situated at the mouth of
Stow Creek, n. J. about 80 miles below
Fort Delaware. The inhabitants are of
a nOmadic race, compromising sturgeon
and shad fishermen. At present there
are ten sturgeon firms engaged in catch
ing fish and manufacturing caviare un-
der the control of New Jerseymen.
Those 10 firms representa- 6 boats and nets
apiece at a cost of 1920 per bOatand net
aggregating $4,000; with ten vessels
costing $1,000 apiece, aggregating SO,
600; employing 200 men, $35 per month,
or $40 the season, aggregating Sl4 900 {;
total aggregate, $4,000. This amount
is incurred for outfit and labor, the cost
oflivin gand incidenials is not included.
There are two digesters here, con-
structed at an expense of $4,000 each
One is operated in the interest of Max
Aams. of New York, the other for Mac
Ewing, of Greenwich, n. j. These
digesters consume the refuse ofthe fish,
such as heads, tails, hides, back bones
and intestines, which are dried and
untitled as a fish fertilizer The meat
of the fish is boneleSS and is used fresh;
it is smoked and pickled and entere our
market a choice delicacy, inviting the
attention of the most fastidious epicure.
The roe of the fish is manufactured in
to caviare, hence it is readily seen that
the whole fish is untitled The di-
gesting of the refuse produces the fa-
nous sturgeon oil, which is so much in
various channels of trade There is no
fish that frequents or inhabits the
Delaware river or bay, that is as valua-
BILE as the sturgeon. Every developed
fish that is taken out of the water be-
tween the first of April and the first of
June. will realize $5. Now the 60 nets
that are engaged here will catch $50
fish, aggregating $1,000 fish, at s. per
fish, amounting to 1000. This is on
" about one-half the repre- sentative
amount of fish caught by New Jersey
firms 1t is readily seen what reve-
nue. the catch of sturgeon is to New
Jerseymen.-Salem Sunbeam.

The Mexican authorities pretend to
think it absurd for the Texans to fear
any invasion of cholera from Mexico
even if the disease existed there,
which they deny. 1t is possible that
Mexican quarantine regulations have
improved within recent years, but this
is a case where an ounce of prevention
is worth good many pounds of cure.
The disease has been working up the
South American coast, and no harm
will be done by little extra vigilance

left letter in the safe for his partner.
Mr.. Alday Clements, stating that he
had left for parts unknown and never
expected to return unless the affairs of
the firm were found crooked. Mr..

found everything all right. Mr.. Quinn
by had two checks belonging to the firm
amounting to $3.50 which he returned
to the maker when he reached Balti-

made of his friends was that none of
them should follow him or try to dis
cover his whereabouts, as it would be
useless. He is unmarried, about 81
years of age, a good business man and
very popular. 1t is supposed that dis

pond for the fish as they are Matched
out. The young brook trout in the

are being fed on shad roe and are mary
